A modern continuation of the traditional par force hunts that has been held in Dyrehaven park for hundreds of years, but the game have now been replaced by two riders wearing fox tails on their backs. It is an annual spectacle with almost 30,000 spectators watching the 50-odd riders wearing fancy deep red jackets, ride through a challenging course. Most of the spectators head straight for the Magasin dam, where the riders pass through a water obstacle, and 5-10 riders usually makes an involuntary but spectacular plunge into the freezing water. Takes place in late October or early November, contact a tourist information desk for details.
